Fashion Spotlight What is a Bombshell

Michelle Resendiz – Chicago, Il.

What’s a Bombshell? What is YOUR definition? According to the internet if you look up the word this is what you get…

Bomb·shell
(bmshl)

n.

1. An explosive bomb.

2. One that is sensationally shocking, surprising, or amazing.

3. One who is very attractive.

Here’s some little fashion blurbs for our ‘bombshell readers.’ We have plus size fans, we have hair fans, we have nail art fans… we have it all! So, we decided to make a little Bombshell blurb for you guys, cause we love you.

 

Get this vintage hair look with a few simple steps perfect for the plus size bombshell!
~ Create a defined side parting.
~ Using a large barrel tong or wand, make sure to curl hair inwards towards the face.
~ Then clip in place using flat, setting clips.
~ Leave to cool {set} for 15 minutes then gently brush so the curls ‘blend together’. I realize it seems weird brushing out all your hard work but the curls will spring up and look so much prettier and softer than they do as individual curls.
~ If you want to achieve curls higher up your head, around your forehead, curl smaller sections towards the front. You can also mold the hair into curls and use setting clips to hold the dip of the curl. Then add a light dusting of hair spray and you’re ready to go work those vintage waves!

This Plus size Bombshell showcases her ‘Pop of color’ Clutch purse with her flirty dress. That’s a total bombshell move.

Look at these Aztec inspired Bombshell lookin’ nails! I’m going to do a little tutorial on this for you… I did mine in different colors but you get the just right?

Step one: Apply a base-coat. I like NAILS INC's Caviar Basecoat

Step Two: Apply 2 coats of your favorite nail polish. I like OPI Red Flecker

Step Three: After waiting for that to dry a minute take your smaller nail art colors, and draw lines in multiple locations on your nail.

Step Four: Make sure you wait a little longer for this part to dry, then add your top coat. I like NAILS INC'S Caviar topcoat.

Finished Product! Aztec Nails!

OR... you're like me and you don't like nail designs on all yours nails! Here's an accent design nail!

Colorful pants trend

Michelle Resendiz – Chicago, IL.

Big, Bold, and Beautiful colors this warm weather season! It’s time to buy your ticket on the color train ladies because it’s all about color this spring and summer. I’ve taken the time out of shopping for all of you, and compiled a list of where we can all buy these amazing shades.
From a size ‘small’ to a size ‘plus’ we all deserve to look fantastic this happy & hot season. So, take a look at what I found… and where you can get it!

Plus ladies do you like the color trend? You can look good in color too! These two very different shades are available in Plus-size at Macy’s. Below, this bright bold Tomato Red can be found at Old Navy, and this beautiful coral at Lane Bryant.

For our little ladies we’ve found some awesome colored bottoms for you too! It looks like you have a ton of places that you can shop for traditional sizes, so that means I was able to look for the bargain’s for you too! Do you love these tangerine colored babies from Forever21? At $15.50 they were a steal! Also, these beautiful floral pants are totally irresistible and for $14.95 I would have picked those up in a heartbeat. Along with these blue skinny’s for $12.95, both from H&M, it’s hard to say no to great deals and great looks.

Phat to Fab Before pics

Here's a couple before pictures... these are from kimmy's wedding from SEPT 2011.... we are going to take more this weekend but heres a couple to start off anyway...

From Phat to Fab Post: 1

SOOOOOOOO, Here's my first post on my diet blog!  (AGAIN) I've been using this as my blog for a while... I post a ton of things on here. Anything from my fashion obsession to my hockey hubby, and everything in between. I was thinking of starting another for just weight loss, and if I do I will let you know. I guess it depends on if anyone really follows me or not over here. If you guys would like a all Fitness and Flab blogger then I'll change it but for now here I am!

I'm starting this weight loss journey with (are you ready??) a WHOPPING 210lbs to lose! YIKES when you say it like that it's CRAZY! But, that's my ending goal. I want to weigh what my Drivers Licence says, not what I really weigh. So, it's time to get on this.

I always get a little to do list ready when I start something big. It helps me get my ass in gear, and it helps me keep my mind focused on what I need to do. Just an outline of what I need and want. Here we go.

TO-DO's:

1. Make an apt. with a personal trainer just for a few sessions so that I can work out at home better, and/or get my gym membership.
2. Go serious food shopping
3. Talk to rebecca at Jenny again just to get started.
4. Check into some dance classes around here.
5. Take starting pictures and Measurements.

List Of promises to myself:

1. Promise that you are going to do this... stop with this 'tomorrows another day' and start NOW! I know it's good to know that you can start over everyday if you mess up, but if u keep messing up and starting over then whats the point JUST DO IT MICHELLE AND STOP MAKING EXCUSES!
2. You are allowed to pig out at the cheesecake factory and ONLY The cheesecake factory. Everywhere else you WILL mind your P's and Q's you got that lady! UNLESS you are on vacation, and/or it's a VERY special occasion and that IS IT! *this will be monitored on what is technically a 'special occasion' if friends and family see that it isn't then there will be NO cheating*
3. You will set little goals... that all make you take the right path to your big goal. First? Lose 50lbs by July 20th. You better weigh your ass on July 19th and it BETTER SAY THAT U ARE 50lbs LIGHTER!
4. You will work out 5 days a week for at least 30 mins each day.

So.... I've hear y'all want me to start bloggin ey....

YO YO YOOOO hhaha no just kidding..

So, I hear that some of my friends want me to start blogging my weight loss. Now, my first run with weight loss started a year ago and I started blogging it here, so you can go back and read some of those posts but really I kinda fell off that wagon a bit. I NEED to do this so I am going to start blogging again... I just wanted everyone to know that I was going to start and here it comes!!!

SO BATTEN DOWN THE HATCHES DORTHY MICHELLE IS COMIN'!
